Natsu ran straight towards his foster father with Lucy and Happy following him from behind, no, more like, Natsu was dragging Lucy and, Happy was being forced to meet him.
He can see Igneel sulking behind the other dragons, he don't know why he was sulking and just continue running to him. Maybe he don't want to meet him or his best friends or maybe-
"Natsuuu!", Lucy yelled in his ear, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Huh...Wha-?!", he stuttered, stopping from running and covering his right ear with his hand where Lucy shouted.
"Why did you shout at me?!"
"Why are you ignoring me while I'm calling you for the seventh time?!"
They were glaring at each other for seconds, their faces getting closer and closer. Until, they heard a distant cry from where they came from. They faced the direction where it came from. Natsu tilted his head to the left, "What the hell was that?". "I don't know, and it's getting closer.". Both of them narrowing their eyes to see what's coming. And then, they suddenly realized that they forgot Happy.
"Waaaaah!! How dare you leave me like that?!", Happy cried, flying straight to them.
"I thought you were behind us all this time.", Natsu grinned sheepingly and rubbed the back of his head, while Lucy was trying her best not to laugh on how he got left behind all this time.
"And you!", Happy yelled pointing at her. "Why are you laughing?"
"I-I'm not laughing! Pfft... Hahaha!", she laughed. "I'm sorry... Hahaha!". Soon, Natsu joined her, Happy kept sobbing about how this is not funny. In a matter of seconds, Igneel heard the laughing and noticed Natsu.
"NATSU!! MY BOOOOY!!", can't get his excitement inside, running to him. The group stiffened, even Happy's sobbing stopped.
"Dad! I-" He stopped mid-sentence when his father gave him a bone-crushing hug. "I finally get to see you! Ooh, and who's this?", letting him go, making him cough from that hug.
"T-this is Lucy, my-", "Your wife?" 'Aaaand he cut me off again, way to go, Dad! You deserve a medal!' he thought ' Wait... What did he say? First, he cuts me off. Now, he's saying LUCY IS MY WIFE???!!!'
"D-dad, she's not my wife, she's just-... Dad?", Natsu stared at him with a blank face. From the corner of his eye, he can also see Lucy and Happy looking at him with the same expression.
Igneel's eyes were shining, smiling crazy like he has some evil plan, claws clasped together in his chest. Just what the hell is he thinking?
"Umm... Do I get to speak in this?", Lucy asked, her hand raising up. "Aye!"
"Lucy!", she jumped from her position as Igneel looked at her with a serious face. 'S-scary!' she thought. "What do my grandchildren look like? Is it like my idiot son?", his claw covering the side of his mouth while the other pointing to his foster son. "Eh? N-no, you got it all wrong. We aren't married-"
"Oh. So they're pretty as you. How old are they, anyway?", he interrupted, again.
"Igneel-san! They aren't married and they don't have a child, we're best friends, that's all.", Happy pointed out, making Igneel stare at him with wide eyes.
"Happy, you lifesaver! We owe you a hundred fish!", Lucy and Natsu cried tears of joy.
"A talking-flying cat?", he muttered.
"He didn't mind the explanation?!", the group exploded.
"No, no. I mind that. Wait... You're just best friends?", he questioned, his finger pointing from Lucy to Natsu.
"What part of best friends don't you understand?", Natsu asked with a bored expression as Lucy nodded.
"Alright! I will make an arranged marriage for both of you!", he bolted to them.
They shrieked and face Happy,"Happy, please save us! We'll give you five hundred fish!", they shot a death glare at Happy, making him shiver and twinkle his eyes, after.
He faced Igneel and said, "They're just best friends and don't love each other like a married couple."
"Fine! I understand, you don't love each other? Fine!", he walked away and sulked in a corner. "But, I'll still make an arranged marriage for both of you.", shooting glares at them.
"Happy, please make him stop talking about that arranged marriage.", they pleased.
"And how many fish will that be in total?", Happy smirked.
"Anything you like, just stop my dad!", Natsu shouted at him, his finger pointing to his father, and making Lucy nod repeatedly in agreement.
"Hihihi! I'm gonna be rich in fish!", he yelled, flying towards to Igneel to stop him from the marriage.
